Believe it or not, stuff like this is carried in Muslim countries all the time. So this will help our standing in the world?
Friedman is a pretty sharp guy.
This article points out things that ae obviously true. So why the defensiveness? If we had any non-corrupt politics left in our country we might turn back from our collision course with disaster. Heads in the sand till the bitter end. And it may be bitter.

Because I wrote the post.
Some still have a problem with my leanings. But I said nothing on this post.
I just thought it was worthy of discussion. I thought this forum was about that. You know discuss stuff.
I enjoyed the article and emailed it to my brother. I don't understand the apparent anger in some of you?

If you thought it was worthy of discussion, why did you say "Not much more to add here?"
On my part, I thought it spoke for itself.
I have a bad political track record here with many. especially ex military. I am on many ignore lists.
I don't think that is the case. Ha Ha and others support you, publicly or privately.
As a conservative, there are a LOT of things I disagree with President Bush and others on. I grew up in a heavily Democratic family, but my parents always gave sound reasons and logic in their reasons for supporting Democratic candidates. IMHO, it is rare that you present solid analysis as to why you agree with the piece or article.
I get it..........YOU DISLIKE BUSH!![]()
I am still thinking Obama.

Using the word HATE is little extreme and it makes the one making the accusation seem like a small person, who can not win their agrument, thus they respond with name calling and with assuming that someone hates.
Folks it time to quit this practice as it does nothing to further the conversation.
GOD BLESS
I was a little too strong, so I changed it to dislike. My apologies for too strong a language...........
I agree Bush Jr. is a lighweight compared to his dad. Remember the "Two Presidents for the Price of One" bumper stickers from the 2000 campaign? Didn't work out quite like that.......
The political landscape is a nightmare, and it pisses me off. I am still on the soapbox that the Senate is the real problem, too many long-term Senators that seem out of touch with reality........I mean it seems like every Senator is 100 years old........
Here's an idea: TERM limits for the Senate.......what a concept!!
Sorry........Finance Dude, Please do not edit my posts. I am sure that the others in this forum would agree with my request.
As for term limits for our representatives in Congress that will never happen as long as they are the deciders. By the state of affairs in the U.S it appears that neither the Congress or Old George W are listening to the needs and wants of our people.
................. Here's an idea: TERM limits for the Senate.......what a concept!!
At the risk of hijacking a hijacked thread - we voted for term limits for Michigan legislators and have been paying the consequences. It is like having a kindergarten class, instead of a legislature. Now they really have got us - if we vote off the term limits, we are stuck with these children and if we don't, the problem continues!
IMHO the issue is really campaign funding. If it costs a billion dollars for a presidential campaign, the candidate will end up owned by the largest contributors. Alternatively if every American kicked in $3 (a gallon of cheap gas) we would have candidates that worked for us.
Rant / hijack ended.
So the dreaded "campaign financing reform" surfaces again??![]()
No go back to term limits - I wanna hear your suggestions on this one!![]()
